WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY, 17, 1924 PLAN BIG KITE TOURNEY HERE Boys and Girls Asked to En- ter Park Board Competi- tion June 14 RULES MADE KNOWN Would Make Tournament an Annual Event The first annual Winnetka Kite tournament will be held at Skokie Playfield on Saturday morning, June 14. This tournament will be 'con- ducted under the auspices of the Win- netka park board. The unique nature of this tournament will no doubt make it highly popular. It is hoped to make this an annual affair, inasmuch as it offers such large possibilities in the way of the de- velopment of abilities of those who participate. It is expected that the competition will be close and the en- tries numerous. Prizes and badges, say the prelimin- ary announcements, will be awarded for the kites which fly the highest in fifteen minutes, also for the largest, the smallest, the prettiest, the fun- niest, and the largest box kite. This wide range of possible entries makes it likely that there will be a great number of competing candidates. Girls as well as boys can try out their powers of designing and managing kites. Other details will be announced later, it is stated. The tournament will be conducted Everything Electrical at our new location Also repairing on all Electrical appliances.

Skokie Baseball Men Pick Captains for the Season The boys of Skokie school elected their playground captains, Monday of last week, when the girls also chose their leaders, and the following boys were winners in the race; Bill Fowle, Stephen Plowman, Fred Damaski, Harvey Nelson, Chick Mark- ley, Jimmy Kucera, and Way Thompson. TEACH SIXTH GRADERS OF UPPER CLASS WAYS Winnetka sixth graders are to be told how to work and play when they ar- rive in the upper grades at Skokie school next autumn. It will be the seventh graders who provide the information and the following activities are planned for the week of May 26: During the last week in May the sixth grades from Greeley, Horace Mann, and Hubbard Woods schools will in turn be invited to spend a day at Skokie, visiting classes and getting ac- quainted. On Friday afternoon of the same week, beginning at 2:30 o'clock, all of the Winnetka sixth grades are to be invited to the Skokie grounds, where they will be entertained. First, an as- sembly program will be given, which will feature a burlesque of "Treasure Island." Games, including a baseball series be- tween the sixth grades of the four schools, will then be indulged in, and the entire program will be closed with a picnic supper. The hope of the present seventh graders is to give the younger children an understanding of both work and play at Skokie so that they will feel at home next year. The program is in charge of the mem- bers of the students' council. 2603--"LIMEHOUSE BLUES" 2610--"IT HAD TO BE YOU" Raleigh, $200 Mahogany or Walnut roomy .compartment for filing records.
